The German gaming market is still at a high level - and was able to grow significantly in the first half of 2023. This is the result of a joint special evaluation by GfK and GfK Entertainment on the occasion of this year's Gamescom for the gaming hardware and accessories segments. As the representative sales data shows, sales of game consoles increased by 90 percent compared to the same period last year. In addition to the still well-performing Nintendo Switch, these gains were mainly driven by the PS5. After the supply bottlenecks of the past two years, the Sony bestseller is now available nationwide and has sold three times as many copies in 2023 as in the first six months of 2022.

Note: chart below is based on revenue

German Market data for fist half of 2023:
